Abstract :
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is an expansile bone lesion that usually involves the long
bones. Skull base involvement is rare. Hereby, we describe a 17-year-old man with hoarseness,
facial asymmetry, left sided sensorineural hearing loss and left jugular foramen
syndrome. CT scan and MRI showed a skull base mass that was confirmed as ABC in histopathology.
The case was unusual and interesting due to the clinical presentation of
jugular foramen syndrome and radiological findings such as severe enhancement and
multiosseous involvement.
